How many of you use original windows 10 license?

I use original on my work laptop, bought it from Ebay for a few bucks :) totaly works with updates and everything.

About my home PC... :D
 
Got the original before jumping over to Linux a few years ago. Like all things Microsoft, a horrible piece of shit
 
Got it with my laptop when purchased it so yeah, it’s legit :)
 
I purchased Windows 7 DVD and then upgraded to Windows 10 from the same Windows 7 PC. Yes, original Windows 7 license. But that was years ago. After that I switched to Linux Ubuntu and never look back again.

The only reason you would not have a valid Windows license is if you custom built your PC. Most likely 95% of the people here use prebuilt PC's.
 
10 is like injecting aids into your PC.
Try the original windows 10 (I bought it for $199 as far I can remember), you will fall in love with it. It took me years to move onto windows 10. Now, I can't live without it. You will need good hardware nevertheless. Also, don't shut down the updates. Yeah, it can be buggy a few times (only bug I have faced till date was the double login bug, which was wayy back), but they fix it pretty quickly.

My honest opinion..

Cracked as they say jugaad in India :)
Cmon bro, pay some money to Mr. Gates will you? :p
He provided us free windows throughout our childhoods. Now, it's time to pay him back lol. #dontbeajugaad

Nahh, they also sell laptops without any operating system (rather,free dos only). I too bought a laptop with no OS. I purchased the OS separately.

I use the version downloaded from Microsoft website - it has the "the windows is not activated" watermark on the bottom right of the screen and I can't change the colors of the UI. Other than that it has worked for over 2 years so.. the watermark doesn't bother me that much and it was totally free.

I had Windows 10, and my laptop was slow as honey (It's not a great one, so fair enough) - Swapped to Windows 7 and it was literally lightning fast. 10x the speed is an understatement.

Also strongly dislike the fact that W10 sends user info, AKA https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/windows-10-could-still-be-snooping-on-user-data - Gross. Oh, and the search function is absolutely useless.

So let's agree to disagree. :D

Sure!
Do you use SSD by the way? That could have been the problem. ;)

No I don't, and that's a good point. However, why does W7 run so well on HDD, and not W10? :)
 
Me but it's because i bought the laptop with it
